Timeline

Timelines

-The first day of creation through the seventh day of creation is a timeline.

-The fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3, until the flood of Noah’s day. Adam’s generations came to an end.

“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened.” Genesis 7:11 (KJV)

-and it rained 40 days

Genesis 5 sums up Adam’s generations.

Genesis, Chapter 6 details the harvest of those generations—great evil in the earth. Every thought of the imagination of their heart was only evil. There was great violence on the planet.

Judgment

Man’s lifespan was cut to 120 years, Genesis Genesis 6:3

God shares his plans with Noah to destroy everything that had the breath of life. He gave Noah a blueprint to bring him through the flood.

Reward

Noah, his family, and those animals on the ark came through the judgment. God removed the curse from the ground. He made a covenant with Noah and his family, including the animals from the ark. God’s signature, the rainbow, is still present in heaven over God’s throne in Revelation chapter 4:3. The first thing Noah did when they got off the ark was offer a sacrifice (Genesis 8:20). God was pleased, and he reversed the curse!

Lesson

Seed time harvest is the principle process of the created order.

  • In God’s system, seed is sown and in time it becomes a harvest.
  • Sacrifice is a principle part of the harvest. Adam and Eve ate theit harvest.

There is another judgment looming

In Genesis 2, God planted two trees in the Garden of Eden. In Revelation 22, One tree becomes the Lamb of God seated on the throne of God

One tree, the tree of life, in full harvest

We can trace the timelines from Genesis through to Revelation.

Takeaway fact: instead, it was Adam, Noah, or anything in between; it was about the sacrifice. We don’t get to choose the sacrifice. Cain’s rejection was in the sacrifice he decided to give; God alone designates the acceptable sacrifice.

Revelation 22:1

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God, and of the Lamb.”

Why the image of the Lamb?

Why seated on the throne?

SACRIFICE!

A great example of the timeless principle of seed time harvest!

The power of a good seed sown

Jesus said, ‘Give, and it shall be given unto you good measure press down shaken together running over shall men give unto you.’

Seed has the power of producing an 100 fold more than what was sown.

The created order is full of cycles. For example, Genesis 2:4 “These are the generations of heaven and earth!”

In the process of time, Cain and Abel brought sacrifices.
